I like taking two separate approaches. First I think it's a good idea to create one that is self-hosted using <a href="/create" rel="nofollow">one of the many</a> solutions available out there.

To both interact with other users Lifestreams as well as share content you're interested in. Yea, it's a tough call Patricia on what strategy to take regarding your Lifestream.

I'm using Storytlr and fully enjoying it. I even set up custom domain a few hours ago, but this post is now making me have second thoughts. Maybe we're all better off with WordPress lifestream plugins - there's always the risk of some data loss depending on how you set it up, however, at least you're in control of your lifestream by choosing that option.<br><br>I agree it was pretty inconsiderate of the owners of Swurl to simply wipe the service off with no in advance warning to users. I guess "you get what you pay for", however, respect and consideration should be standard behavior IMO. Wise words. I'm using Storytlr and fully enjoying it.
